Hezakya newz and this channel is the closest thing to having a time machine

That warden who said that crime was rooted in poverty figured it out way back in 1966.

It's Friday night and I'm here looking at this! Life right now sucks! 🤦🏾‍♂️

So in 1966 prison population was 350k Now it’s closer to 2-3 million Someone has some explaining to do

The inmate 5:00 in appears to be Jackie Lee Noble who, while serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery out of St. Louis, MO. In 1954, he was involved in a riot where he and several other inmates commandeered their way into the death row cell block where some inmates were being held solely for their protection. Noble and several others got into the cell of an inmate who was being held their because he turned states evidence against his fellow armed robber cohorts. They beat him with a sledgehammer, a knife, a wooden table leg, sharp objects, and their fists until he died. Noble was sentenced to life in prison for this murder. He was paroled in 1976 but was arrested a few months later for an armed robbery but the charges were dropped when witnesses identified someone other than Noble in a lineup. A few months later, Noble was arrested for another armed robbery and received a 50 year sentence. In 1978, Noble was stabbed numerous times by another inmate and almost died. A newspaper account stated that "Jack had some class about him which made him more likable than some inmates". Noble died in prison of natural causes in 1999.

Thanks for making this available, what I really respect about your channel NO ADs I can see you have good intentions.

The most articulate prisoners i've ever seen

Crazy how well spoken people were back then. Probably because they have so much time to read

These men a lot couldn’t read or write but they’re more articulate and well spoken than most today.

Man things were different back then it’s interesting knowing how life was back then

It’s amazing that you can find this footage you need more subscribers

This channel is underrated!

Great piece of work here. Things change yet they don't, damn.

This channel shows how history continues to repeat itself

Another gem!

At 22:25 it wasnt laid back it was rough in Texas prisons. I heard they had the best food. The inmates at the unit took pride in the food they made.

5:50 That's the tone of a man who has spiritually given up, at that point he's just existing. Sad to see.

Got a ball player on ball court that behind back pass was on point i was not ready for that lol

This is at Missouri State Pen

They hit that right on the head. A cage, or a dormitory filled with danger. At least in 66 you could smoke your squares

I love you vinmoonsu for these videos

Thank you V.

Superb content!

I see myself in prison 1 day. I’m not a criminal or a troublemaker but there are times where you have to do what you have to do to survive. Instead of the war on drugs, it should have been a war on poverty. If there weren’t any poverty, 80% of people incarcerated wouldn’t be there. Everybody wants you to do the right thing but nobody cares if you ate today.

great documentary

The inmate at 17:00 in looks to be Gerald C. Eckmann. He was serving a 10-year sentence for a series of St. Louis, MO armed robberies of taverns. He was accompanied by a 17 year old Minnesota girl who received 7 years for her part. Before these robberies Eckmann had just been paroled from a 10-85 year sentence in Minnesota for armed robbery.

Never understood why a county jail would house trespassers and drug abusers with armed robbers and rapists. That aspect of corrections hasn’t changed much. They’ll give people a numeric classification depending on the shit they did outside and inside, but somehow unless they’re in the box, they’re all intermingled. I’m guessing it has to do with money.

Heavy You really pulled our coats to this one Thanks

I love these old videos :) the audio is so fuckin relaxing to me

Good content

Not every Man is your Friend Not every Man is your Enemy but every Man is your Teacher!

Very good video

Good Video

Rest in peace Roger mudd

Is it just me or does the guy in the Thumbnail pic, favor one of the members of 'Boyz To Men' ...🤔..✊✌💨🏃

Wow in 1966 there were 355k persons in prison today it around 1.5 million.

Back when everyone dressed decently, even on the first day of their prison sentence. 😂

The documentary point out some important factors. There should be programs to facilitate the convicts entry back into society.

The prisons looked empty back than

People were thinner and better looking back then.

It doesn't stun in days anybody anymore it's a revolving door of the same people with a few new faces added in occasionally.

Men were way more sturdy and stand up back then if that man at the beginning killed in self defense no way should he have life our country has ruined itself through oppression mass incarceration and criminalization of poor and addicted jail makes people worse

We are humans and humans make mistakes. Prison is full of people who made mistakes and poor choices. As long as there remains this stigma upon those who bear the label "criminal", they will find it virtually impossible to re enter society and to support a family without resorting to further incidents of crime.

The man at 13:15 For some reason, he seemed to be very honest

I joined this Society at San Quentin January 21st 1974 however I could keep my cigarettes my wallet my ring and my contraband as I was escorted to the honor block of the boq where I stayed until I had enough of this place gave myself a parole went home

"WHAT ARE PRISONS FOR?" Simple. Modern day slavery

The inmate who said mixing boys and young men with older inmates was a mistake… because of his youth he’s good looking and he’s young which is a bad combination said all mfs need to know

What is the difference between a prison and a plantation?

Man they was eating pretty good back then,in today's system the food is day and night now if you are not bless with a hustle or family members and good friends to send you canteen money you screwed

Lmao that fake smile at 1:27

Some of them might still be locked up.😬

Seems humans have more interest and compassion for the perpetrators than the victims of the perpetrators

And then the war on drugs drove men into the system forever

Prisoners back then seemed to take accountability for their actions.

Heavy

Daamn they was eatin good in prison

Its truly disgraceful how the State is Texas especially treats its inmates.

The usual inmates something's never change .

8:58 ahh he went back 2 weeks later

Is the hardship of those getting out of prison a good deterrent to doing crime in the first place ?

The inmates they interviewed seem more like actors or a regular Joe, than prisoners.

I wonder which prison this was🤔

Most of these poor souls would do better sent to a military branch and community colleges. Seriously, what ever happened to giving a car thief a choice between go to war or go to jail?

If only Atticus Finch was there - no one would be guilty.

Texas prison back then is EXACTLY the same today

Amazing documentary....I wonder if any of these inmates are still alive

This story is titled "Men in Cages". Filmed in the 1960's. Today this story would be titled "Boys thinking they're men, in Cages".

Armed robbery dude is a stone cold real life gangster

Wonder if anyone used their butcher training to dismember bodies?

RIP Roger Mudd

Homies allset they live in a gated community a bathroom in every room and full staff

Roger Mudd!!

In 8 years I'd find myself at San Quentin well it was my own fault

The inmates that were interviewed spoke proper English and sounded educated, listen to how they speak now days…

the guy at 16:42 ...........very interesting fella thats for sure........im interested in knowing who he is

Funny thing is dey don’t even look like criminals they look really sophisticated haha they all dressed casually with dress pants and suit jackets and button up shirts and etc

It all infuriates me. You won’t allow the LEGAL ACQUISITION of a firearm to someone who’s had shooting and safety training; has superior skills that grossly surpass points of ANY LEO’s’ qualifying score; is skilled in the level of sharpshooter BUT can’t get it because of ONE Non violent (or firearm related) felony. Even if it is just a MISDEMEANOR- you can be denied the purchase. If done illegally, any hood booger with a couple hundred bucks can get all kinds of cookware (best part? They don’t know how to use them! They can’t cook worth a ship! Too bad, too, or they’d mostly hit one another instead of ANYTHING BUT their target.)

Is that a table of condiments?😂

The problems of the 60s and 70s are still problems or the current society, and I imagine in 50 years the problems will still be the same. Not sure how to fix them, or what the answer to these problems is.

As a team, or a society, we are only as strong as weakest player. How sad that the keys are thrown away as soon as anyone messes up, even slightly. Look what has happened. When the government, and the public had control, and/or an interest in the prison system there was hope of rehabilitation, of betterment as a whole society. There was progress being made towards people becoming part of society, instead of keeping people oppressed and under ground. Imagine where we may be if this would have continued instead we went backwards. Now that private institutions have their hands all over the prison systems and almost all prisons are control by a private entity, we as a society have regressed. There isn’t any more hope given to inmates to actually better themselves and for them to leave prison as a person part of society. There isn’t any hope spread to the general public about inmates gaining a better life, the general public screams “PUNISH THEM, PUNISH THEM!!” The general public isn’t taught, or made to understand that people are able to change and can come out of a correction institution, corrected. If the correction institutions are actually made to correct behaviors and not made to make better criminals, as the system is now. We would be a much better society! The United States of America is the only developed nation that doesn’t correct an inmates behavior, just throws them into a cage with others, no matter what age you can be thrown in with people who are seasoned at their work. You can be only 18 years old and not even fully developed mentally and be with a person who knows how to manipulate these kids into killing and anything else they please. If anyone looks around the rest of the developed world, people are rehabilitated and given hope to be part of society and that they can be a person who doesn’t break society’s laws. I hope one day the US can be a society who cares about rehabilitation and doesn’t throw people into cages having them fight to stay alive, literally. Then they get out having no chance at a real life in society, they can only turn back to crime.

Awesome content but sorry, them hounds ain't putting anyone down 🙄

Yo Brother at 8:00 look just like Sam Cooke...man i said that can't b Sam.. 😂😂😂

I like the Priests accent

The prisoners are very articulate in their speech, its impressive compared to todays thugs.

i remember i was upstate and they treated me like a dam animal over a gun and assault charge i never went back

This should be shown to 5th grade - 8th grade students. Maybe they'll stop doing foolish stuff in life. A wrong choice or hanging around the wrong crowd will cost you your freedom! This is sad. Some of the people speak very intelligent. 😊

Why do most prisoners in these documentaries seem well spoken compared to people on the outside. Even in modern documentaries this seems true. ??

They should have thought about their crimes before they did the time

To Think How Many Innocent Males That Was False Convicted, Is Really Mind Blowing . NAKED CARRYING NOTHING

Too bad weed wasnt legal BACK then!

look at STACKED servings of food nearly falling off the trays. I bet the quality of meals even In prison was 1000x healthier than today.

It's not poverty, it's choices. My mother grew up in Europe during WW2....the poverty and violence she and millions of her generation endured was unbelievable. She worked hard and pulled herself up from that hell and made a life for herself...... Choices

Ill

USA Prisoners 2022.. 2.1 Million.. Cost Over 50 Billion Dollars.. Prophet Muhammad.. Jesus Christ.. Buddha.. May Help.. All Da Best..
